Discuss as needed. I personally think it's a bit of a shame that Borderlands didn't make the cut in any way shape or form. It had some steep competition, for sure, but still... c'mon! It was also nice to see Halo only get awards it truly deserves. (Marty O'Donnel is pretty awesome.)

Glad Flower got on there. It is truly a unique game and deserves the award. I agree with all the rest as well, except for maybe Best Fighting Game and Best 360 game. Does having a quick turn button in L4D2 make it better than its PC counterpart? I don't know. I just think that the platform specific awards should be limited to the exclusives.
ReplyDeleteIt's also great that Wolverine is getting some recognition. It was a great game as far as movie tie-ins go, and is pretty solid overall.
What was Wolverine up against? Harry Potter? Up? As far as movie games go, Wolverine was a shoe-in.
ReplyDeleteI personally disagree with the award Halo did win. My vote went for Uncharted 2. That game has a phenomenal theme with one of the most expansive and immersive sound tracks I've ever heard.
ReplyDeleteBut sticking with the Uncharted 2... if that hadn't won GOTY, I would have lost all hope in gaming as a whole. It is a game you buy an entire new system just to have the privilege of experiencing.
congrats to Uncharted 2, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteloving Rocksteady getting studio of the year, cracking job with Batman and i'm totally stoked there's a sequal coming must go and finish the first one off promto.
Yeah good list for sure. ODST did have a pretty awesome soundtrack. Can't think of any other game that really stuck me this year as far as music goes. I haven't played Uncharted 2, but from what I hear it's all the rage.
ReplyDeleteSo who wants to loan me their PS3 so I can play Uncharted 2, haha.
ReplyDeleteGood list. Shadow Complex was a great download. And Borderlands should have won something. A new and original theme where most games stick to familiar genres.
